South America & Central America Vacations

Sample the unique cultures of Central & South America on our thrilling escorted tours to Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, the Galápagos Islands & the Amazon. Dance the Samba in Rio de Janeiro and the Tango in Buenos Aires, the "Paris of the East." Ancient ruins await you in fascinating Machu Picchu, throughout Peru's Sacred Valley, and in Easter Island. If it's spectacular scenery you desire, witness the thunderous falls at Iguassu Falls; take a guided walk in the Amazon Rainforest; explore Bariloche, which boasts some of Argentina's most glorious scenery; walk through Costa Rica's cloud forest; and cruise through the Galápagos Islands as you watch for sea lions, iguanas, and many bird species. Our tours also include special experiences designed to delight. Get a glimpse into life in rural Peru as you spend time with a local family, go to a local Peruvian food market in Lima, and visit a local family's farm in Costa Rica to enjoy a homemade lunch.
